The journey of the control system may be viewed from the control of steam engines to spacecraft, aeroplane missile control systems to networked control systems and cybersecurity controls. In terms of industrial control and application, the journey starts from the design of P-I-D controllers to fuzzy controllers, neuro-fuzzy controllers, backstepping controllers, sliding mode controllers, and event-triggered controls for networked control systems. Recently, control theory has spread its golden feathers in different fields of engineering by use of the splendid tool of the control system. In this era, the boom of the Internet of Things is at its maximum pace. Different biomedical applications also come under this umbrella and provide the easiest way to continuous monitoring. One of the prominent research areas of green energy and sustainable development in which control plays a vital role is load frequency controllers, control of solar thermal plants, an event-driven building energy management system, speed-sensorless voltage and frequency control in autonomous DFIG-based wind energy, Hazardous Energy Control Programs, and many more. In the era of the 21st century, every system is continuously trying to be smarter and smarter whether in the direction of technology or software as well as in terms of hardware. One of the easiest methods to be smart is the internet. Therefore, research in the Internet of Things (IoT) has converged different real-time engineering branches under one umbrella. One example of smart technology is that you are not only connected to your home physically, bute as well as mentally with all members of the family by continuous monitoring of their activity. When they need you in an emergency, you may also arrange the support automatically with the relief team by using smart houses and appliances with remote accessing options.
